Mars bar cheesecake... or cheesecake heaven!
Since my mom came to Angola and stayed for about three weeks, her visit was centered around two things, Karim, my son, and food! As if we were starving before she came :)) And since she's a pro in all things sweets, chocolaty and packed with fat, am sharing with you the recipe of this cheesecake we made together before she left. I will not babble a lot about how yummy, decadent and scrumptious it is, I will let you look at the pictures and save the recipe and try it out! If you do not have Mars bars on hand, try it out with twix bars or even snickers bars, you can even mix all three bars together, Heaven on a dish!
